“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

⟡ Chromatic v Met Police: Midnight Isn’t Reasonable Adjustment ⟡

Email requesting statement handover to avoid in-person visits, citing disability, homeschooling, and surveillance safeguards

I. What Happened

On 14 April 2025, Polly Chromatic received a response from Detective Sergeant George Thorpe of the Metropolitan Police, confirming that PC Kirsty Russell was the investigating officer for her report. The reply followed Polly’s 12 April 2025 message raising serious concerns about an unannounced late-night police visit to her home, despite:

  • Her medically documented communication limitations

  • Her four children being asleep during home education hours

  • The existence of a pre-written statement to avoid verbal engagement

Polly politely requested that the statement be relayed to the attending officers and reiterated that, unless absolutely necessary, she does not consent to unplanned police visits due to medical, safety, and trauma-related reasons.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

  • Procedural breaches: Failure to respect disability-based written communication adjustment; late-night visit without notice

  • Human impact: Trauma exposure, sleep disruption, and heightened anxiety in a disabled household under harassment watch

  • Power dynamics: Attempted forced verbal interaction despite clear documented limits

  • Institutional failure: Ignoring previous documentation, disability status, and safeguarding boundaries

  • Unacceptable conduct: Treating written statements as insufficient solely because they do not offer real-time compliance

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because no one should be woken up at 11pm by the state.
Because there is no policy justification for showing up unannounced at the home of a disabled mother of four — when a statement was already provided.
Because the system will not acknowledge that written statements are not avoidance — they are accommodation.
Because this email is not about the event. It is about the expectation: that disabled people should still speak.

This archive entry is an act of quiet defiance — the kind that only appears after the doorbell rings too many times.

IV. Violations

  • Equality Act 2010, Sections 20 & 29 – failure to provide reasonable adjustments; disability discrimination in public service

  • Human Rights Act 1998, Article 8 – unlawful intrusion into private life, especially during family rest hours

  • Code of Ethics – College of Policing, Standards 1 & 4 – respect for rights, integrity, and public trust

  • Public Sector Equality Duty (Section 149) – failure to anticipate and accommodate known disability needs

V. SWANK’s Position

We do not accept that officers can knock at 11PM with no explanation.
We do not accept that trauma, disability, or documented boundaries can be ignored for administrative convenience.
We do not accept that presence is proof of protection.

This wasn’t safeguarding.
This was state intrusion, veiled in politeness, carried out in silence, and now filed with fury.

"Safeguarding isn’t suspicion. It’s support. This was both."

Documented provision of physical education through a medically appropriate and socially integrated tennis session — recorded for evidentiary protection and lawful oversight.

I. What Happened

On 16 June 2025, a family-led educational outing was held at a local tennis court as part of structured physical education. This session included:

  • Participation by children currently under local authority surveillance

  • Voluntary, interest-based engagement aligned with EHCP recommendations

  • Public location, real-time scheduling, and documentation

No crisis occurred.
No reportable event took place.
But we documented it anyway — because they’ve shown us they don’t want records.
They want absence.

II. What the Record Establishes

  • That physical education is being provided in accordance with UK educational law

  • That children are being socially and physically supported in safe public settings

  • That disability-conscious provision is built into the schedule

  • That a parent under audit maintained routine, care, and compliance — without surveillance or force

  • That “lack of schooling” is not only false — it’s irrelevant under Section 7 compliance

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because when a parent takes their child to a tennis lesson,
that’s not remarkable —
until the state acts like it is.

Because documenting the ordinary has become necessary.
Because every small act of joy, planning, and agency now has to be archived.

Because this is what safeguarding actually looks like:
a racket, a child, a parent, a park.
Nothing happened — and that’s why we posted it.

IV. Violations

(None. That’s the point.)

V. SWANK’s Position

We don’t publish education to prove it’s happening.
We publish it because they pretend it isn’t.

This wasn’t evasion.
It was a Monday.

And in this climate, a legally valid Monday deserves a file name.
